You do not have to identify yourself, but if your holdings change please reply with update.

Edit: Updated 3-28-2011 12:23 ESDT -- 61.29% have no interest or none of these.

Edit in response to: "You might find more owners of these on the PM forum. "

True, but there is the 11,000 + posts thread regarding these on this forum.

I have 5 after a late start and anyone who wants them should have more than one at this point (if they can afford them) because they are sure available.

Dont have any yet.Wont pay the e bay or tv show prices of 2500-4000.Waiting to hear anything from the authorized bullion dealer I contacted.I have bought one hot springs coin for 50% over spot.Guess it will be awhile for me to break even.

jessewvu · March 26, 2011 1:33AM

I have sold about 15 sets, but I don't own any. I had a bunch of people I know buy them and split the profits with all of them. Now that prices have come down, I wouldn't mind owning a set to keep.

jackhuntatb.com is selling them for $949 get them while you can for the price of silver alone

pontiacinf · March 26, 2011 1:40AM

not interested at all

GaCoinGuy · March 26, 2011 1:42AM

None here either....just haven't got my interest.

Plus, I haven't had the $$$.

epcjimi1 · March 26, 2011 1:49AM

Bought seven, sold four, kept three for free. I'm not big money, so for little effort on my part, I have 75 oz to add to my stack.

Steve27 · March 26, 2011 2:01AM

I owned one for all of three days before selling it.

jmski52 · March 26, 2011 2:42AM

As long as I can buy them un-picked over, I'll keep buying as many as I can afford at the time.

That's what I was wondering. If it wasn't MO only I would buy a set.
Without using a credit card or something, there is no protection

Well all I know is there one of the AP's So I would say They can be trusted with no problems. Plus I think the post office money order is a safe bet since it can be tracked as well. It was alittle more of a hassle but total cost with priority mail and confirmation was only 956.15 which I consider a deal.

BAJJERFAN · March 26, 2011 3:32AM

I wonder why they decided to sit on their allocation for so long.

To watch spot rise so they could justify asking more for them and still keep the mint happy. The mint won't hold them to a price less than melt.

PQueue · March 26, 2011 3:46AM

What is the allure? Size, beauty, effective bullion vehicle, or profit potential?

coinnut · March 26, 2011 3:48AM

I saw these at the Bay State Show yesterday for the first time. I honestly don't know what all the fuss is about. Looks like bullion to me. I have no interest in owning any. Especially at such a premium.

DIMEMAN · March 26, 2011 4:15AM

>>>not interested at all <<<

Could not have said it any better!

PinkFloyd · March 26, 2011 4:20AM

There are multiple APs selling right now, and they are a fantastic deal for 25 oz physical silver, even if you hate them.

Jack Hunt is an official authorized purchaser of US Mint bullion products. They're not going to take your money and run.

Last Kitco silver close @ $37.20.

Fidelitrade, 25 oz delivered to your door @ 929.20

37.20 x 25 = 933

And lets not forget First Year of release, 5 different Designs of National Parks, and maybe the kicker, low mintage of 33,000 sets. and they also look pretty cool in hand

Soop · March 26, 2011 5:12AM

i see these sets all over ebay for 1300+..... way higher if they grade 69

i dunno, i dont follow modern stuff, did these 'AP's' just get the green light to sell or something? as in are 1000's of new sets now on the market... which'll eventually push those ebay prices down to their melt value?

Here is my understanding, and someone please correct me if I'm incorrect: A few weeks ago, there was some memo that surfaced saying that the 2011 Gettysburg bullion would be distributed to the APs in late April. The APs can only participate in the 2011 ATB bullion if they can certify that they sold the 2010 pieces according to the Mint's terms. So, we're seeing a big shakeout. This will immediately effect prices of raw sets and I can imagine it will certainly cause a decline in prices for all grades.

I have no idea why you ask, nor have an answer for your w,w,w,w + w question.

I do know I just paid a $1.00 premium per oz for 5 one oz Apmex bars today based on the Kitco value.

$38.20 ea.

Here in Iowa.

What premium is that? You can buy these cheaper than you can silver.

jmski52 · March 26, 2011 7:40AM

The fuss is over big, heavy bullion pieces. It looks like bullion because it is. Not everyone is required to own it. The premiums will vary "with the market", just like they do for any other numismatic item.

As I look at your Registry Set, Dimeman - I see plenty of built-in premium. Each to his own. I haven't decided whether or not I want to collect these Pucks, but that really should be a question of personal preference - don't you agree?

Well, I assume those prices are based on some sort of actual trades. What is the minimum requirement ouncewise that would have an affect on those prices?

Quite a different story in Boston yesterday. IIRC $1300 raw and $1500 slabbed.

DIMEMAN · March 26, 2011 8:23AM

jmski52 - My problem with bullion is......it's NOT coin collecting. I wish they had a forum just for that so it would not take up space on the coin forum!!

I know I don't have to open the threads, BUT they take up space and push real coin threads off the first page.

But it won't affect the price of silver.

These, at a minimum, will keep up with silver spot. If you can buy them for close to that now in a silver bull market, why not buy?

epcjimi1 · March 26, 2011 8:43AM

<< Well, I assume those prices are based on some sort of actual trades. What is the minimum requirement ouncewise that would have an affect on those prices? >>

Again, I'm not sure why you ask.

Nor your purpose or any idea what is up with this.

I'll give it my best shot -

I think there is a 5,000 oz min order on silver futures contracts and there is a 1,000 oz silver futures contract too, 6E or something it's named. Can't remember.

I have no idea if 5,000 oz, (if that is correct, probably not

) makes a difference in the price.

If there are dots to connect in this exchange between us, I fail to comprehend the image outlined.

My comments/questions are open to anyone who wishes to answer/share info. It is just mostly coincidence that they appear in your post. If I hit reply, my question may be several posts removed from the issue I was seeking info on. The sale of just a few shares can affect the price of a thinly traded stock so I was wondering what kind of trades would affect the PM prices we see on Kitco, Apmex, etc. Does Apmex's daily business have an effect on world silver prices or are they merely followers as opposed to leaders?

Bochiman · March 26, 2011 10:42AM

I've bought a few sets, but at the end of the day, I own none (I sell them).

mrpotatoheadd · March 26, 2011 10:47AM

<< jmski52 - My problem with bullion is......it's NOT coin collecting. >>

The great thing about coin collecting is that you can do it any way you want to. The downside is that you can't make everybody agree that your point of view is the only correct one.

PinkFloyd · March 26, 2011 10:50AM

I have purchased a few sets and ultimately plan on keeping one full set of decent coins (MS68ish), selling the 69s and the raw coins that would likely yield lower grades.

BigE · March 26, 2011 1:26PM

I thought these were actual quarters, they say quarter dollar, so are they strictly bullion?

------------BigE

Cant wait to put these in a Dansco album, I wonder if it will be xtra large, like those big dictionaries at the library

pitboss · March 26, 2011 1:42PM

Large print edition.

JeremyDie1 · March 26, 2011 1:45PM

I bought 3 sets so far. Amark,Fidelitrade and MTB. I sold the Amark ($1750) and plan to keep the other two.

kimber45ACP · March 26, 2011 1:50PM

I had four. Sent to PCGS, sold 3 which gave me back my initial investment for all 4 sets.
I wound up with 1 free set and kept all the highest grades for each type.

bumanchu · March 26, 2011 2:40PM

Personally, have two on the way. Had possession of two others and let one go. So three now provided
I "get what's coming to me" LOL!

Please do not overlook the great potential of using one of these as a golf ball marker on the green.!!

bumanchu · March 26, 2011 2:45PM

So far over a third of those that have voted own at least one set.

Konahead · March 26, 2011 2:53PM

1 set from amark

123cents · March 26, 2011 3:15PM

I am the proud owner of 1/5 of a set or 1 coin.
